Horse on the World

Chapter 144 Perfect Mobilization
Under the leadership of Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming, the officials and gentry of Dingzhou went out of the city for ten miles to welcome Li Qing's return. Lu Dalin, who was guarding the frontier and did not dare to leave lightly, also specially sent back his younger brother Lu Dabing. Not to mention the county magistrates gathered here, at this moment, the master of Dingzhou officially belonged to Li Qing both in name and in reality.

Li Qing accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile, and a group of people started to set off to Dingzhou City. There, there was a more grand city entry ceremony waiting for Li Qing.

A long distance away from Dingzhou City, he could already hear the gongs and drums and the high-pitched bronze trumpets in the direction of Dingzhou City. Nearly [-] meters away, a good red carpet was actually laid out, the entire front of the city wall was covered with red silk, and people who were not qualified to follow Shang Haibo and others to greet him were already standing densely along both sides of the red carpet .

"Is it necessary? How much does it cost?" Li Qing, who had just spent a lot of money in Fuzhou, was heartbroken. With this money, why not add some armor to the soldiers and build better weapons!
"This is the money that should be spent!" Shang Haibo emphasized, "Marshal, this is to announce to Dingzhou and to the world that Dingzhou belongs to the world. Even if Dingzhou is poor, this money must be spent."

Li Qing shook his head indifferently. He is a practical person. Although he disagrees with Shang Haibo's statement, he can't refute his face. Anyway, this time he won a large sum of money in the battle with Qu Yongjie in the capital. Money, these expenses can be recorded in your own name, and you don't need to spend the money in the official treasury.

"Congratulations to the Commander yet!" Shang Haibo laughed.

"Huh?" Li Qing looked at him puzzled.

"The commander-in-chief's trip is worthwhile. Not only has he become a well-known commander-in-chief in Dingzhou, he has also become the son-in-law of Dachu, and he is also a famous princess all over the world. This is of great benefit to our Dingzhou!" Shang Haibo beamed with joy, This time, his previous worries were finally put into his stomach, Princess Qingcheng, haha, he really never thought of a better ending than this before!
"Are you happy?" Li Qing asked slightly sarcastically, Shang Haibo laughed halfway, looked at Li Qing's face, and held back with a click, thinking to himself, the handsome seems to be upset, it's best not to let go of this sign up.He coughed a few times and stopped talking.

"Princess Qingcheng? You don't know?" Li Qing sighed, and suddenly stopped talking, thinking that Qingcheng must marry into the family. If she really married into the family, this kind of tigress wife is definitely a family scandal. Don't let it out.

Shang Haibo glanced at Li Qing in amazement, thinking why is the commander in such a tone, could it be that Princess Qingcheng is not beautiful?That's not right, Princess Qingcheng is famous all over the world, so no matter how you say it, she shouldn't look bad. Besides, Qingfeng next to the commander is already a beautiful fetus, so it doesn't matter if Qingcheng is ugly at all. Salt is average, so what does it matter?Where is the identity of the family?It would be better if there are fewer beauties around the commander-in-chief, Ruanrou Township is a hero's tomb!Shang Haibo said to himself, but he definitely wouldn't say these words, the commander is a man, and he is a young man with full of vigor, I'm afraid he would like to be surrounded by beauties!He was full of heart.

"Commander, please!" Walking to the head of the red carpet, Shang Haibo held the horse's head and stretched out his hand to invite him.

Li Qing took the reins, saw the scarlet carpet, but felt a little sad in his heart, turned his head and said to Yang Yidao: "Those warriors who sacrificed please go first!"

Yang Yidao was startled, "Marshal?"

"Go!" Li Qing said sharply with a straight face.

Shang Haibo looked at Li Qing in puzzlement. Li Qing's assassination involved Li's family affairs, so not many people outside knew about it, and the Statistics and Investigation Department did not pass the news back to Dingzhou. .

Yang Yidao jumped off the horse, walked to a carriage, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, Shang Haibo's eyes narrowed immediately, inside, there were twelve small wooden boxes lined up, tied with white gauze.

"General, what happened?" He asked in shock.

Li Qing shook his head, "Let's talk about it later!" He jumped off the horse and stood on one side with his hands tied.When the rest of the people saw this, although they didn't understand why, they dismounted one after another.

Yang Yidao, Tang Hu and ten personal guards stepped forward, each holding a wooden box, and walked towards the red carpet with heavy steps. The gongs, drums, and brass horns all stopped in the city and the city, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the little ten. Two wooden boxes.

Li Qing clasped his fists in both hands, gave a deep bow to the twelve wooden boxes entering the city, and shouted loudly: "The soul is back, the soul is back!"

Following Li Qing's cry, Yang Yidao and other 12 people raised the twelve wooden boxes above their heads and walked step by step.The copper horn on the city suddenly sounded, but it turned into a mournful and exciting sound, followed by the beating of the big drum, and the passionate sound of killing suddenly rose,
"The soul is back!" Shang Haibo bowed to the ground, Lu Yiming bowed to the ground, outside the city, inside the city, above and below the city, everyone shouted in unison, the voice of summoning the soul of the warrior resounded throughout Dingzhou City.

Li Qing walked into the city with great strides, and walked up the steps to the high tower. On his left and right sides, Yang Yidao and others stood awe-inspiring holding twelve spirit boxes.Shang Haibo and others were still standing at the bottom of the city, looking up at Li Qing who was standing proudly above the city.

"For a hundred years, I have fought against barbarians in Dingzhou. I have continued to fight against barbarians. I have never yielded under the iron hooves of barbarians." Li Qing raised his hands and roared loudly.

There was silence above and below the city, except for the sound of the wind raising the banner above the city, and the sound of cheering seemed to be an annotation for Li Qing's words.

"Countless heroes died in battle, their blood soaked every piece of land in Dingzhou, their spirits have never left us, they are still in Dingzhou, looking at us in front of every fortress against barbarians in Dingzhou Carry on their legacy and watch us still fight."

"Under our feet is our land, our home, the wealth we have worked hard to create, our parents and relatives, but the barbarians on the grassland want to rob our land, take away our wealth, and rob us. Relatives, shall we promise?"

"Don't agree, don't agree, kill the barbarians, kill them all!" There was a tsunami-like echo from above and below the city.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, "We Dachu, although we are a country of etiquette, we are never afraid of barbarism. We look forward to peace, but we are not afraid of war. For the sake of future generations, we have to fight. Where there is war, there will be death. Tell me Me, are you afraid of death?"

"not afraid!"

"Yes, we are not afraid of death, because we are fighting for our children and grandchildren, fighting for our eternal peace. For this purpose, we have to step on the battlefield again and again until we defeat the barbarians and conquer them." Li Qing said in a sonorous voice, "For this purpose, many of us will die, and for this purpose, many of us will lose their husbands, fathers, and sons, but it is worth it. Let our generation, Let the battle be over!"

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"

"I, Dingzhou, will build a monument to commemorate those predecessors who died for Dingzhou. He will be located in the center of our Dingzhou for everyone to admire. He will be taller than any building in the city." Li Qingdao: "Dingzhou will also build a Hall of Heroes. All soldiers who died in future wars can place their spiritual tablets in it for our future generations to look up to, so that they will always remember that their happiness is these Heroic spirits traded their lives and blood for it."

Shang Haibo raised his head, looked at the impassioned Li Qing on the tower, his eyes were suddenly clouded, after many years, he finally met a wise master, a person who truly possessed the image of a king, it was hard for him to imagine Li Qing at this moment , would actually use such an opportunity to gather the entire Dingzhou together to fight against the enemy. Today was originally Li Qing's most brilliant day, but he gave up this opportunity to those warriors who died, but because of this, let His reputation reached its peak at this moment, and Shang Haibo could imagine that when the monument and memorial hall that Li Qing promised stand in the center of Dingzhou City, it will definitely become the glue of the whole Dingzhou, soldiers They will die for him, and the people will send their men to the battlefield for him!

He set up this welcome venue, but Li Qing used it to make a perfect state-wide general mobilization, and the conquest of the grassland began from this moment.

And this is just the beginning!Shang Haibo clenched his fist tightly.

Cough cough, this chapter is very awkwardly written, I am not very satisfied, the next chapter will be a big chapter.
